For startups and small businesses
Grants expertise, made operational.
Keep your founders building. Baylani carries the funding work.
SBIR and STTR solicitations, federal grants, and contract opportunities each come with their own rules. Baylani reads them, builds the budget against them, and keeps the award and its money organized once you win, with the books built in.
We're working with a small group of early partners, starting with startups and small businesses.

Common questions
Do we need a grants person to use Baylani?
No. Baylani is built for small teams without a grants office. It reads the solicitation, builds the requirement checklist and budget, and keeps what's due next in one place. Your team reviews and decides.
Does Baylani search SBIR.gov or the DoD SBIR topic site?
Not today. Baylani searches Grants.gov, SAM.gov, and DC PASS, which carry many SBIR and STTR opportunities. You can also upload any solicitation and Baylani reads it the same way.
